Streetview on iOS and Android is the best reason to buy Cardboard

The update enables owners of the super-basic pair of goggles to take a tour down any street covered by Streetview.

In a post on the company blog (via VentureBeat), Google wrote: “Finally, to help bring you to more places, you can now explore Google Street View in Cardboard. So, download the updated Google Street View app for Android or iOS, and grab your Cardboard to immerse yourself in destinations around the world.”

While the dedicated Cardboard app had offered some Streetview imagery, this is the first time Google has offered the whole hog.

Those rocking Cardboard headsets won’t have to wait for the update to roll out, because it was featured as part of Google’s last Streetview tweak, which dropped last week.
